I don't know how to run your life. I don't know how to run your life. I don't have the authority to run your life. And the Constitution doesn't permit me to run your life.

More quotes by Ron Paul
During the last campaign I knew what was happening. You know, they mocked me for my foreign policy and they laughed at my monetary policy. No more. No more.
Ron Paul
The reality is that our military presence on foreign soil is as offensive to the people that live there as armed Chinese troops would be if they were stationed in Texas. We would not stand for it here, but we have had a globe-straddling empire and a very intrusive foreign policy for decades that incites a lot of hatred and resentment toward us.
Ron Paul
My message is simple - freedom works a lot better than the authoritarian style of government.
Ron Paul
It's a mistake to think that poor people get the benefit from the welfare system. It's a total fraud. Most welfare go to the rich of this country: the military-industrial complex, the bankers, the foreign dictators, it's totally out of control.
Ron Paul
If people won't spend any money, the government has this moral obligation to do it.
Ron Paul
If you can’t protect life, then how can you protect liberty?
Ron Paul
Banning guns because of their misuse is like banning the First Amendment because one might libel or slander.
Ron Paul
We don't have the freedom of speech to talk about the weather. We have the first amendment so we can say some very controversial things.
Ron Paul
Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms.
Ron Paul
I want to just obey the Constitution.The Constitution says only gold and silver can be legal tender.
Ron Paul
Mr. Speaker, I once again find myself compelled to vote against the annual budget resolution for a very simple reason: it makes government bigger.
Ron Paul
When the federal government spends more each year than it collects in tax revenues, it has three choices: It can raise taxes, print money, or borrow money. While these actions may benefit politicians, all three options are bad for average Americans.
Ron Paul
The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders’ political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs.
Ron Paul
In the free society envisioned by the founders, schools are held accountable to parents, not federal bureaucrats.
Ron Paul
There is nothing wrong with describing Conservatism as protecting the Constitution, protecting all things that limit government. Government is the enemy of liberty. Government should be very restrained.
Ron Paul
Congress remains in total denial as our liberties are rapidly fading before our eyes. The process is propelled by unwarranted fear and ignorance as to the true meaning of liberty. It is driven by economic myths, fallacies and irrational good intentions.
Ron Paul
Unfortunately, the greater the humanitarian outreach, the greater the violence required to achieve it.
Ron Paul
The Congress should not be creating money out of thin air, which is what Lincoln did when he created greenbacks. But it is a congressional responsibility to maintain gold and silver as a legal tender.
Ron Paul
I have some help on tweeting.
Ron Paul
When it comes to the environment and global warming from emissions, it has to be dealt with in one of two ways - preemptive regulations, which I don't agree with, or with private property principles. Nobody has the right to pollute their neighbors' air or water or land.
Ron Paul
